New Release - Close Your Ears: Deer

It's a little bit cheeky, and a lot a bit fun!  We've got a new mini set that we think you're going to want to add to your collection right away!

Close Your Ears: Deer is the first in our series of edgy, chuckle-out-loud stamps that are meant to make you do a double-take and then grin from ear to ear!  This 2 x 4 mini set features a studly stag and two hilarious sentiments perfect for say, a belated birthday or compliment of any kind!

Close Your Ears: Deer

The design team did an outstanding job creating unique and quite different cards with this set.  This mini is great for a foundation, allowing you to add lots of bits and bobs from some of our other fabulous stamp sets.  Check these out...

Katie Gehring's card is crisp and clean, gender neutral, and downright adorable! Forget that ol' singing Billy Bass plaque (remember those?!), Katie's got her own Donny Deer to make her smile!

Virginia Lu's taken a mod interpretation of this gold lamé rack and multi-hued stag -- always fashion forward, we say!  Sparkly gold sequins round out this ensemble, along with a wooden runway created with our Background Check stamp set.  Strike a pose!

Stacey Schafer's made a fabulous masculine card using some trendy elements like gold ink and vellum!  She's also used a border and sentiment from our set called Say Anything. Love the stitching and rustic twine/button combo!

Lesley Croghan really mixed it up with this birthday card for her mom!  Fabulous colors and patterns, and a fun use of sentiments from Take A Number and When Hearts Collide, give this card lots of pizzaz!

Sarah Gough made great use of coordinating patterned paper on her card.  Love the Happy Birthday speech bubble from On Trend 2013.  Everything's perfectly mounted, too!  Pardon the pun...

Kim Singdahlsen put her expert skills to use with this woodsy, masculine version.  That woodgrain embossed background is perfect with the flecked cream card stock -- clean, simple and just the right touch of color for *pop*!

And finally, we want to share a fabulous card by our January guest designer, Emily Leiphart! She sent this over to us today just for this special release.  Love the cool aqua ink, the stamped off sentiment and the glittery bow...how schnazzy is that?!

Isn't the tree, fashioned from embossed and die cut cardstock, the coolest thing?  Emily used our conversation-type hearts from Love Signs and morphed them into little love balloons!  The writing's on the wall (or tree) - it's love, sugar, and our newest stamp sets, including Love Signs, are just what you need!
